When I want to go to a different website and I type in a new URL it always opens the URL in new, different tab.


I wanted to open it in the tab I typed it in...?

Can I change this or is this just a new updated feature in firefox that can't be changed?

Thanks!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
